Replacing Vac pump
Had a quick search of the forums but couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

Vac pump is leaking badly on my 08 Puma.

I know they've made several revisions of the pump as leak is a known problem, so if I buy LR014973 will I get the most recent revision?

http://www.lrdirect.com/LR014973-Pump-Assy-Vacuum/ - I know WABCO make the pump so is the one from britpart or allmakes OEM?

Aside from undoing a few bolts and aligning the camshaft to make it fit ok, anything else I need to consider when fitting??

Cheers

The pump I'd on a service recall meaning when it failed your local stealer should change it for free I had mine done and they sorted the T box output seal recall at the same time. Mines an 09 plate

Does this still apply? It's only just started leaking and I'm on an 08 plate

To expand on this, I've done some research into these service bulletins.

I bought my 08 plate Defender in 2013 and I was the first person to get it serviced at a dealer (Nov 2014).

Turns out that 2 of the recalls:

No.LTB00177 (vac pump leak)
and
No.SSM38792 (engine knock noise)

apply to my VIN. They're also both happening (vac pump is leaking and then engine knocks horribly on startup).

So if I ring my dealer and explain this, would I still get it fixed by them for free? Or do I need to shell out the money myself (do the work myself) to fix them??

I don't know about how things will work out with the dealer, but the knock refers to a PCJ fault and i'm afraid it isn't a small fix...

Have a search on here for PCJ
